Mark Twain said it best.
"The classics are something we all wish to claim to have read but to never read."
I love to read, I personally own nearly a 1000 books; however, reading the so called "classics" has always been a miserable and boring enterprise for me.

Steve Nash is ridiculous. I'm going to miss him. I don't think Rondo gets to be #1 just yet. Close, but not quite.
Rondo has been the best player in these playoffs thus far. With that said, Kobe is finally maturing like Jordan, and trusting his teammates. I think these are his best playoffs thus far. His efficiency and assists has gone up and he's just doing everything. Boston LA finals. I don't think anybody can beat Boston the way they're killing Orlando.
And yes, Steve Nash and Deron Williams are still #1 pgs in my book but if Rondo wins the title, I think he becomes the best pg in the NBA.

I've liked both Dickens and Hemmingway, but I wouldn't say that I like Dickens or Hemmingway. Their offerings aren't universally palatable.
I hate Faulkner with a fiery passion that will outlast generations of suns, each more fiery than the last; this is not to say that I hold him in total disregard for his writing style is not completely without merit; nor am I prolonging this sentence-like string of words without reason, I am copying him.
Funny story. Me and my friends were messing around in the mall and decided to drop by hot topic. This guy with the wool hat in warm weather and indoors over his long hair and his bushy beard, 32-45.3 piercings, tight jeans and white crappy shirt decides he wants to help us.... My friend is looking for a funny t. shirt. Mr. Hipster decides that the way to sell him a different funny shirt (because hot topic doesn't have the one that my friend wants) is to insult his friend. "you can wear the epic fail shirt for hanging out with these guys all day." My alleged friend, vigorously craving the validation of other hipsters, decides that "yeah seriously," then buying the shirt is the appropriate response in front of his friends. Please, stab me in my back too, as long as you've got the knife out.
fair warning, the video takes forever, and the sound is hella annoying. My advice, mute this one and load up this:
